In
conjunction with National Poetry Month, the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum is presenting a special one-day program devoted exclusively to poetry
inspired by the Holocaust. This exceptional day of events includes a reading
by Czeslaw Milosz, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature
and the National Medal of Arts.
Created in association with The Academy of American Poets, Folger Shakespeare Library, Library of Congress, Poetry Society of America, and 92nd Street Y’s Unterberg Poetry Center, the program features a compelling panel discussion; readings by internationally known poets, including Ira Sadoff, Irena Klepfisz, and Marge Piercy; an interview with John Felstiner – author of Paul Celan: Poet, Survivor, and Jew; and, the presentation by Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz.
